ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF APPLICATION OF SOLIDS-WATER TRANSPORTATION FOR COAL

WIRTSCHAFTLICHE ASPEKTE FUER DIE ANWENDBARKEIT DES FESTSTOFF-WASSERTRANSPORTES BEI STEINKOHLE

On the basis of practical examples and plant projects, the problems and preconditions of using this conveying system for the delivery of coal are compared with other transport systems. An analysis of the installation- and operating cost reveals that the layout of the starting- and terminating points are decisive for the profitability of hydraulic transportation. The parameters of the raw material and of the operating conditions of the pipeline system are examined with regard to their economic importance. It can be said that the profitability of hydraulic mineral-coal transportation depends on whether long-term contracts could be signed for transporting great quantities over long distances and whether additional ship-, railway- and road facilities are available.
